Auto expo 2k16

 1.3 lakh visitors on sunday


GREATER NOIDA: More than 3.2 lakh people visited the Auto Expo 2016 in Greater Noida on the first three days, with Sunday witnessing a record crowd of over 1.3 lakh.

The current edition of the biennial show has so far seen more footfalls than last year - fewer than 3.1 lakh people visited it on the first three days in 2014. The organisers are expecting 6 lakh visitors before the show closes on Tuesday, compared with 5.6 lakh last time.

The Sunday crowd was cheered by the presence of Bollywood start Akshay Kumar, the Honda two-wheeler brand ambassador who visited the company's stall.

As many as 65 exhibitors are participating in this year's show, with them unveiling about 70 new products.

The exhibition is spread over 73,000 square meters, compared with 69,000 square meters last time. After a two-day preview for the media, the expo opened its gates to the public on Friday.
